Summary:

This novel, essay, and/or autobiography is a journey through the
mystery of fantasies, of artistic creation and Montero’s most secret
memories. She undertakes a trip to her inner self in a narrative game
full of surprises. It is a magician’s hat from which she reveals
amazing and unexpected events. In this book, she mixes literature and
life in an aphrodisiacal cocktail of other people's biographies and a
semi-fictional autobiography. This is, above all, a torrid story of
love and salvation between her and her imagination. Description in
Spanish: He aquí un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En él se
mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías
ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran
Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi
era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con
veinte años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un
famoso actor. Pero no deberíamos fiarnos de todo lo que la autora
cuenta sobre sí misma: los recuerdos no son siempre lo que parecen.
Un libro sobre la fantasía y los sueños, sobre la locura y la pasión,
sobre los miedos y las dudas de los escritores, pero también de los
lectores. Y, sobre todo, la tórrida historia de amor y salvación que
hay entre la autora y su imaginación.
